Matt Davies goes 600 with Go Eleven
Coming off the back of a successful season, which saw him crowned the inaugural champion of the European Junior Cup, Matthew Davies is now ready for a new adventure. After four wins last year (Monza, Aragon, Silverstone and Nurburgring) on a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, the talented young Australian rider will now move up to the European Superstock 600 Championship on a Go Eleven Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.


The 15-year-old from Wyalong will line up alongside Christian Gamarino and Tony Covena in the Italian-based team, which confirmed that it has confidence in young riders as well as high expectations and ambitious aims.


Gianni Ramello (Team Owner) said he was "pleased to hire a young rider like Matt. The results obtained last season show that he has all the necessary qualities to do very well also in Superstock. Go Eleven therefore renews its commitment ready to face this new challenge, proving once again that it believes in the potential of these young riders, thereby focusing on their growth".


Denis Sacchetti (Team Manager): "Another young rider has become part of our family. Last year, Matt deservedly dominated the Trophy Kawasaki 250, championship born with the aim to develop young talent in the World Superbike Championship. And this is the same intention that more fits with the philosophy of Go Eleven: with Kawasaki we want to create a real way for deserving young people so they can start racing in the 250 and then go to the Stock and the coveted Supersport. I am sure that this season Matt will learn a lot and grow up race after race".


Matthew Davies added: "I am really excited to be racing my first full season on a 600 with such an experienced team as Go Eleven and can't wait for the season to begin. Thanks to Gianni and the rest of the team for giving me this great opportunity - can't wait".
